Application filed June 1, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN A. HoLIac'xenncnu, a citizen of the United States, residingat l-lagerstown, in the county of Washington and State of hiaryland, have in; vented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine-Pencils; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use theisaine, erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. r

This invention relates to ne Y and useful improvements in pencils and comprises a simple and etlicient device of this nature in which a plurality of leads are adapted to he carried within the barrel of the pencil holder fllidiltll'OIllfillCflllY fed from the same when desired for use, means being provided to hold the leadin an adjusted position.

The invention comprises various details consti iction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, inwhich Figure l is a perspective viewoi a pencil made in awordauce with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the pencil. Fig. 2% is a detail perspective new of: a friction block adapted to hold the lead in an adjusted position, and Fig. l is an enlarged perspective view oi the preferred form of leads, showing roughened circumference.

Reference now being the drawings by letter, designates .the barrel of a pencil holder which is hollow and jadapted to contain a series of leads B. Mounted within said barrel is a cylindrical had to the details of lug D which is fastened thereto, preferably by indenting the. wall of the barrel, said block being provided with a projecting tapering split end, through which the leads are adapted to be fed. The tapering end of the bloclt'coni'orins to the tapering end of a tip C, which latter has an annular rib 0 formed by an inturncd portion of the circumterence of the ti which rib engages an annular recess K harmed in the circumference of the cylindrical portion 'of the block, said recess Specification of Letters Patent.

[being slightly wider than the thiclcness of 1 block independent ot" the tip. 1 ment is provided l, relative to the bloc l of the block may 1. l frictionally engage l adjusted position.

n-ut of the This moveso that. by moving the tip it and barrel. the split end )8 contracted by the tip to and hold the latter in an it will be noted that one the rib allows a slight moven end of said plug is 'coucaved slightly", as at ,ll, about the marginal e l refdge oi the central opening therein through which the lead. is

:passed, said concaved end being provided and made preferably of'the shape shown so as to allow the pointed leads to be conveniently fed forward to replace one another in the tip. It will be noted that the opposite. lsides of the tapering end ot'the tip are cut,

away, as at K, and a person may projeting, -,purpo'se of dr atl'ording means whereby conveniently take hold of the pointed end of the lead for the awing the -same forward lthrough the tip.

- and block. will cause ally in such adjusted position,

in ()PtlitlllOil. the barrel portion or the pencil holder is preferably tilled with pointed leads, one oi, which will naturally pass through the aperture in said block as the pencil holder is held with the point down and. when the pointed end of the lead e);-

' tends a sutlicient distance through the block I and tip. it may be held in such adjusted position by moving the block within the tip or holding the block stationary and moving the tip over the block, so that the wall of the tip will cause the split end of the block to contact against the. pencil and hold the same lrietional'ly. The conical tapering sur times of the block and .tip are so constructed that the block and tip will be held frictionthus securely moving. When it is ad forward as it beholding the lead from desired to feed the le comes worn down or for any other purpose, a slight longitudinal movement of the barrel and block in a direction away from the tip. or moving the tip away from the barrel the'tip to disengage the surface of the block-and allow the lead to move freely through the, aperture therein. lly having the surface of the lead preferably slightly roughened, the fingers of the 10-: operator may conveniently grip the lead and allow the same to be pulled through the tip -to the required distance.

By the provision ot a pencil made as shown and described, a who e magazine full 11c oi leads may be fed forward one at a time until all are utilized after which the barrel may be replenished with a new supply.

it hat I claim to be new is A magazine pencil comprising a barrel adapted to contain a plurality of leads, a centrally and longitudinally apertured block telescoping Within said harrel and provided with ,a circumferential shoulder to limit the telescoping movements thereof, the inner end of said block being concaved and adapted to direct a lead coming in contact therewith into said central aperture, the circumference of the block having an annular recess and a tapering ,end which is longituconformed to the tapering end of. the block,

as set forth.

In testimonv'whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
